Best Cheap Motorcycle Trailer??? Harbor Freight Trailer Build Time-lapse

Hello!!! In June of 2021 I purchase this 1,195 lbs trailer from Harbor Freight! At the time it was only $350, and that was retail! As of the time of the publishing this video, Harbor Freight raised the price to $500 - per their online store. I am not sure if the in-store price reflects that as well and not sure how long the online price will remain what it is. The good news is that heavy duty version of this trailer barely went up in price. I believe it is only $50 more and it raises the weight limit 500 lbs higher... Hopefully the price goes down again, because this trailer is a sweet deal at $350.

I built this specifically for hauling my dirt bike and as well as some lumber. So far it has worked great and I am very happy with it. If I could go back in time I would still have purchased this trailer. If you are interested in the dirt bike stuff, I have a few videos of it on my channel. I am currently in the process of working my way into my very first Hare Scramble! Give it a view if you are interested!!

Thanks!

i took a stock trailer, built it up with 4 feet walls and drove it 4800 miles with the stock bearings with the OEM Grease... then ignored it 8 more years then repacked them, here I am 14 years after that, and they are still going

Same trailer, i used, a full sheet of pressure treated 3/4" plywood for the bed . Makes it not foldable , but it is for dirt bikes only, ( I did haul a new riding lawn mower also ) . Although some what a tight fit, I haul 3 bikes on it . A KX112, a KT250 and a KX250 . Made a hinge system and a 4' ramp, that hinges up and latches after loading . I also upgraded to a 2" hitch rather than the 1 7/8" that comes with trailer .
Great video . Mine took a little longer ro put together . Was using my air wrench and the power went out 🙄🙄

If all you are using that trailer for is hauling your dirt bike, you can remove the two shorter leaf springs. It won't make your ride more plush but it will allow the suspension to use up some of it's travel and not bounce so harshly. Good job on your build.

Great video, have you towed at highway speeds (75MPH+) and how do the 12inch bias ply tires handle?

Great job buddy, how does it handle on the highway?

I'm glad I got the non-foldable HAUL-MASTER
1980 Lb. Capacity 48 In. X 96 In. Super Duty Trailer, for only $40 more, at the time. I have hauled lumber, stoves, refrigerators, washer & dryer combos, furniture, boats, canoes, garden tractors, a Honda Goldwing Interstate full dresser and even 1 ton of gravel. Now the largest HAUL-MASTER trailer is only 1720 Lb. Capacity because it is Folding.

Could one put 2 bikes on this trailer?
